A Windows 2003 Small Business Server may shut down unexpectedly if setup was not completed correctly.

You may receive the following errors in the event viewer:

Event ID: 1013 Source: SBCore Description: "This computer must be configured as a domain controller. To prevent this computer from shutting down in the future, run Setup on the disk that you used to install the operating system to configure the computer as a domain controller."

Event ID: 1014 Source: SBCore Description: "This computer must be configured as a domain controller. It will be shut down in 60 minutes. To prevent this computer from shutting down, run Setup on the disk that you used to install the operating system to configure the computer as a domain controller."

Event ID: 1014 Source: SBCore Description: "This computer must be configured as a domain controller. It will be shut down in 30 minutes. To prevent this computer from shutting down, run Setup on the disk that you used to install the operating system to configure the computer as a domain controller."

Event ID: 1001 Source: SBCore Description: "The server was shut down because it did not comply with the EULA. For more information, contact Microsoft."

This issue can occur if the Windows 2003 Small Business Server integrated setup was not completed. Windows 2003 Small Business Server must be a domain controller and hold all FSMO roles for the domain. In order to facilitate migration from an existing domain, the Small Business Server can function for 7 days after installing without being promoted to a domain controller. After that time, the Small Business Server must be promoted to a domain controller using the integrated setup. If the integrated setup is not completed, the SBCore service will initiate a shut down of the server.

To resolve this issue, complete the Windows 2003 Small Business Server integrated setup. To access integrated setup, select "Windows Small Business Server 2003" in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.
